Wordle

Today I thought that I was going to bomb out again.  There could not possibly be a word that utilized a certain four letters.  But I was wrong!  There was one word that did, and it popped right out of my subconscious.

What are the Odds?

Cartoonist Chris Monroe says this is true.

Brad went fishing on the bay with the fishing pole that his family had given him on his recent birthday.

On his first cast, the pole flew out of his hand and landed in the murky water.

To soothe his sobbing son, his dad let him use a spare pole to continue fishing.

Suddenly the boy got a big "bite" and when he reeled in, there was his birthday pole snagged on the end of his line!

Left Wing Cartoon Characters?

Senator Ted Cruz must have access to information that the other Senators do not.  He has found "dirt" on the following fictional icons: Mr. Potato Head, Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Big Bird, Elmo and the Muppets. I wonder what he found out.  It must be very important.

A Tip from Dublin?

A while ago, I read where ants have an aversion to the ingredients in Irish Spring soap.  At the time, I was having problems with ants attacking my computer desk, so I decided to use that information.

I placed an open bar of that soap on top of my desk, and I haven't seen an ant there since.

Every year, I have had ants roaming around my bathroom sink.  I had a morning ritual - getting rid of families of ants that expected to continue their overnight sink fun.

I placed half a bar of Irish Spring soap on my bathroom sink and I haven't encountered any ants so far this season.

I also like the soap smell!

New Planets around a New Sun?

A distant star was found that could be life-sustainable. It appeared as a glowing red circle in a black background.

Professor Klein confessed that this was just a picture of a slice of chorizo!

Traffic Miscreant Solution

Reuters reports that the Emirate of Ras al-Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates has found that the rate of traffic fatalities decreases when repeat traffic violators are given 50 lashes with a cane in a public square.
